Represents another example of Michael Beach’s love affair with Middle Eastern music! Hands of a Thousand Dances is a collection of many different types of traditional and nontraditional drum pieces performed on various Middle Eastern drums and percussion instruments. Features the hands, voice and heart of Michael Beach, leader of Brothers of the Baladi. Brothers of the Baladi are five Americans who successfully “bridge the gap,” bringing Middle Eastern music to the world. Both Westerners and native Middle Easterners will enjoy, dance to and understand this CD. For 30 years, Brothers of the Baladi have been one of the largest sellers of belly dance music both nationally and internationally. Frequent in-store performances, especially when touring.
